I know that their are a zillion humanitarian organizations (helping hungry, homeless) with no religious affiliation and their are many such organizations with Christian affiliations but do other religions do this sort of work too? I don't mean evangelism. I just want to know about humaitarian relief. I ask because I have never been exposed to any other religions first hand. I am sure some Christian missionaries, as well as some practitioners of every religion, try to shove their beliefs down other peoples throats. But for the few ministries that I have been personally involved in, we did not make reigious affiliation a condition of revceiving help. Of course we would invite people to church, etc. but we did not demand anything. Our purpose was to show was the love of Christ to the world to and love everybody the way Jesus commanded us to (some Christians fail sometimes) . This is one reason I believe Christianity is worth merit. I just wondered if other religions are like this too.

Oh my yes! Muslims do humanitarian work, Buddhism is starting to fire this up... I've seen Muslims give without demanding conversion unlike I've seen Christians do in India to the Hindus there and so on... Buddhism NEVER expects conversion or proselytizes, if it's real Buddhism... I'm sure there are lots more who do humanitarian aid as they're able.

definite, through fact their intelligence says that a number of those shipments incorporate weapons. After signing of the aggreemant that american ships can end suspect ships interior the crimson sea, 2 ships with weapons have been stopped. All stopped shipments have been iranian. They tried to hold the deliver for hours yet it somewhat is against the regulation so the region replaced into resolved. this is been documented that Hamas stops actual humanitarian help (shipments) into gaza. for the duration of the conflict in gaza they stopped yet another one from Jordan (english help) by using gunpoint and offered the products to the utmost bidder. What does that inform you? human beings have faith Hamas is harmless, shop questioning that, whilst they make money. same for israelis, shop questioning that Israel is a hundred% harmless, whilst their gov't makes there kesef.
